There was someone that was asking $40 for Cupid prior to the forum transfer. I don't think their topic carried over. But yeah - really? on a supposed community you're going to mark it up and charge 200% it's market price? She's hard to come by now, but she'll eventually flood the market.

I would never pay 30+ bucks for a doll that is supposed to be out on shelves.In some countries, a single signature doll is retail $30 though... I understand what you mean by the more extreme mark-ups though.

That was me and I really don't see anything wrong with what I did. I went to a bunch of Walmarts every day until I found Cupid. That was a lot of effort and gas money. When I bought my Cupid there was an unopened box of Cupids. I could have easily taken the whole box and put them on ebay and made a bunch of money, but I didn't want to be greedy (much to my mother's disapproval because we are struggling financially), so I bought two. One for me, and one that I planned to list and it would either 1. sell and help pay for the cost of my Cupid/the gas I used looking for her or 2. wouldn't sell and she would be part of my MIB collection.
Honestly, if I wasn't so picky I'd buy a MH doll I wanted for $40 because I spend way more in gas looking for them.
Every negative word that is in this forum from me is directed toward scalping.
